It's Time

I wrote the below email last Friday and wanted to put it on the blog so I can refer to it in the future...

Please take the time to look through the website of American Family Association; http://www.afa.net/ and any others like it within the next week or so. There are many immoral ‘changes’ taking place these days that we need to take a stand for. It breaks my heart thinking of the type of world our children and grandchildren will grow up in if we don't start taking a stand now (there are many different ways we can take a stand for what we know is right). I feel God calls us to speak against such evils. We can not just sit back and let this nation fall apart; we can not just sit back and let innocent lives be lost. I am not encouraging everyone to run out with signs and protest, but please, listen to see HOW God is calling you to 'take a stand'. It might be with consistent prayers, a letter, it might be with a phone call, volunteering, it might be for openly talking about your beliefs; there is NO limit how God can use us to make a difference in these areas.

Issues like stem-cell research without morals and God overseeing them will be extremely damaging. Getting my degree in Biochemistry and Genetics, I fully appreciate the concept of stem-cell research and what it can potentially do; however, not at the risk of using unborn fetuses and eventually promoting abortions and the 'harvesting' of fetuses for these studies. There are many ways to get stem-cells; umbilical cords, baby teeth, adult stem-cells to name a few. God will lead us to the "right discoveries", but we have to let Him lead and keep His laws and morals. We must not waiver. Let's take a stand and realize that science without God will ultimately lead to destruction. I firmly believe that science and God go hand-in-hand. Science is a wonderful gift from God; the more we learn about our world, our bodies, the universe(s), the more we see just how awesome our Father is!! It's absolutely amazing. (I'll be happy to share my opinion on this subject more if you want, but I didn't want that to be the focus of this email. I can tend to talk about this forever...)

Other issues such as "baby designing" workshops are on the rise; this needs to stop. Obama is trying to pass a law that prohibits any doctor or facility to refuse to perform an abortion or other procedure because of any 'moral issues'. This is outrageous. 1000s of doctors could loose their job because they will not commit this sin. As my friend put it: "Yes, the Catholic church is very upset about the possibility of forcing doctors to perform abortions. The Bishops have stated that they will shut down the 31% of hospitals in the US if this becomes law. Many doctors, nurses, anesthesiologist, etc. will be put out of practice if it becomes law since they will stand on the side of life. Our church is really talking about what actions to take."

Thank you for letting me share this with you. Have a wonderful weekend and may God help guide this country and ALL of its individuals.
